Life and work
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
There is nothing to paint, except paint itself.[citation needed]
— Alan Ebnother
Ebnother has been living and working in Stanley, New Mexico since 2002.[2] His oils, in hand-ground dry pigment on stretched linen and wood panels, are characterized by rich impasto, dense pigmentation, and dense markings.[according to whom?]
Ebnother trained as a ballet dancer and his understanding of elevation, extension, and balance comes through in his dispersed composition and the agility of his paint handling.[according to whom?] The high pigment-to-oil ratio and furrowed surfaces of these paintings combine to create an unusually saturated color with a grounded, concrete physicality.[according to whom?] For many years,[quantify] he was known as the artist who painted all green paintings, but his palette has diversified since 2008.[3]
